It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like "the world will end soon" or "my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto."

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I'm start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

Anton Petrov has a great channel if you are into science and space. He posts a video every day explaining new findings in a really approachable way.

I'm still enjoying the engineering and maker channels, along with a few other educational channels.

I like casual gaming videos, and often watch Mr. A Game and QuinBoBin, particularly their Zelda videos.

I also enjoy a good analysis, so Cinema Therapy is my go-to.

I have young children in the house, so it can be hard to find entertaining videos that don't have bad language that I don't want parroted back to me.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting.

Video game channel with absolutely top tier writing, production, and presentation that stacks up against the biggest channels out there, but it's from a team of only 2 people. The host is super likeable and entertaining. No low effort click bait videos. Criminally underrated with only 330k subscribers. I know that's still a lot, but they easily have 1m+ sub potential.

The "punching weight" series about ambitious and wacky titles/peripherals are my favorite. They also have some super well researched video game history videos that are great.

If you are into fishing, hunting, cooking, and a a bit of Southwest history check out Sin City Outdoors. They have family friendly content. For outdoor recovery Matts Off Road Recovery is good and Heavy D Sparks sometimes has great content if you don’t mind fast forwarding a bit.

For food/bbq a few that I like Guga Foods, Mad Scientist BBQ, First We Feast (hot ones), and Munchies.

Lots of good tech channels depending on your interests but here are a few smaller ones I like. Matt Moniz does good laptop reviews, Brandon Butch digs deep into every iOS release, All Things One Place only reviews power adapters and cables.

Fall of Civilizations

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but it's incomparably good (if stories about past civilizations is your thing).

Scott the Woz (video games) and Patrick H Willems (films, but leans towards action)

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah youtube has massive amounts of good content. The only downside is that it's owned by google.

The Plain Bagel.

Enjoy!

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I love Outside XBox (they do more than Xbox content) And Outside Extra. I think its the best short-form gaming variety content there is

[–] melonpunk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos "digging" into archaeology and pre-history.
